Andreas Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Could have been a 'spring helper' that someone installed to compensate for a sagging spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejw71 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Suspect it isn't very thick. A spacer to compensate for difference between right and left ride heigths. Difference could exist due Andreas' reason or manufacturing.

Guest Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 andreas, you are fast and good.i just came from the only two spring shops in cleveland and that is what they stated also . going back to the garage to install my new hotchkis springs,hoping for less sag.funny someone would go though all the trouble of splitting the a arms to only add sag helpers and not 80.00 coil springs though. thanks gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 andreas, just looked in my old chevy parts catalog and they list a coil spacer for 70 monte .2.15 cost . only 70 and only monte .must not be very important. gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 just bringing it to the top ,im inclined to reinstall it just because it is listed in the gm catalog for 70 monte. im using the hotchkis 1916 new springs. gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
